Geagea calls on Berri to schedule 'serious' presidential vote session

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea hit out anew Wednesday at Speaker Nabih Berri over the presidential crisis.

“Mr. Speaker Berri, we are pleased that you are not afraid of threats, and accordingly, since you are not afraid of threats nor of anything, you can call for a serious presidential election session with successive rounds so that we elect a president and relieve the Lebanese, at least in this file,” Geagea said in a post on the X platform.

Berri and Geagea have been engaged in tit-for-tat exchanges regarding the presidential file in recent days.

The file has returned to the spotlight amid mediation efforts by the Progressive Socialist Party and the Free Patriotic Movement.
